What happened?

Not been using ACT long but I got an IT person save a copy of the current database we use - which he did.

What I wanted to happen was from the 3900 or so records we would split them so one database had just the current contacts that we work with on a daily basis whilst the other had the full contact list that we could use as an 'adress book' for future use.

However when I then deleted a raft of contacts from the 'current' databaseI found that the same contacts had been deleted from the copy.

Re: What happened?

I presume you mean just copied the folders and files using windows? That sounds like something a person with little knowledge of ACT would do (He's avoiding answering my calls at the mo so can't confirm.)

If it were the case would it be possible to create a PAD file that would point to the database he copied?
